In case you’re looking for inspiration, we’ve put together a list of some new things that are happening in East Cheshire from September 2019. Some are completely new, others are existing groups which have something new to offer – times, venues, content etc. Enjoy!

I run Drama4kids in Macclesfield as part of First Step Events UK.
I offer drama workshops with a difference. The classes are not about how well your child can act, but more a rehearsal for life. The sessions use real life situations, that we put into fun stories and as a group we find solutions. It may well be Three Little Pigs make friends with the wolf, or we learn to work as as a team while going on a bear hunt. Sessions enable children to develop positive skills and ideas that help outside the class. No shows or productions – the focus is FUN. We encourage the children be as creative as they like and bring everyone along on the adventure.
For children aged 4-10 yrs.
Classes start Thursday 5th September at Sylk Dance Academy, Union Street, Macclesfield.
1600-1700 – Thursday’s.
Term time only.
Limited number per session. Additional workshops in the holidays.

Sounds Right Phonics Classes provide fun, high energy classes which teach early phonics skills to children aged 1-4 years.
The classes are fun, varied and educational, and the best part is that children don’t even realise they are learning. Children are introduced to letter sounds through a range of different activities, music and dances whilst also developing confidence, turn-taking and fine and gross motor skills.
Minis sessions (1-2.5 years): Develop speech and language skills, vocabulary and explore a range of nursery rhymes
Preschool sessions (2.5 – 4 years): Include sound recognition, oral blending and segmenting which are foundations for learning to read
Classes will be held at Planet Play in Knutsford and also in South Warrington.
FREE taster sessions available in September as part of the special launch week – book on via the website here
For more information check out the Facebook page or email Gilly – gilly@soundsrightphonicsclasses.co.uk.
Tumble Tots classes give young children the opportunity to participate in active physical play using specially designed colourful equipment. We strive to provide children with essential skills for life whilst contributing to their recommended 3 hours of physical activity that is needed every day!
Sessions have been designed to develop your child’s gross and fine motor skills including agility, balance, climbing and co-ordination skills, alongside their social and cognitive development.
Taking part in physical play is critical in helping a child to develop a positive attitude towards physical activity. It is also widely believed that taking part in physical activity can aid a child’s brain development by enhancing the ongoing development of both fine and gross motor skills.
Launching a new timetable for September 2019 – our Knutsford classes will be held at Egerton Youth Club on Tuesdays (term time only); 9.45am walking to age 2, 10.40am 2-3 years and 11.30am 3 years to school age.
